ABOUT THE PLAY

“One – Singular Sensation…”  A Chorus Line is a stunning musical-verite
about a chorus audition for a Broadway musical. It tells of the achingly
poignant ambitions of professional Broadway dancers to land a job in the
show, and is a powerful metaphor for all human aspiration. It is a
brilliantly complex fusion of dance, song and compellingly authentic drama.

*AUDITIONS*

   -

   Auditions are being held jointly for Sweeney Todd and A Chorus Line so
   you may audition for both productions with one appointment on either of
   these dates; it is possible to be in both productions. Callbacks will be
